Question

7(x-4)=14
what are the steps?

Answer 1

Answer:

x=6

Step-by-step explanation:

multiply 7 by x and 7 by -4. You get 7x-28=14, add 28 to 14, which is 42. So 7x=42, then divide 7 on both sides, and you get x=6.

Answer 2

Answer:

x = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

7(x-4)=14

Divide both sides by 7

7(x - 4)/7 = 14/7

x - 4 = 2

Add 4 both sides

x - 4 + 4 = 2 + 4

x = 6
